Simpsons Nadir?

What has been the nadir (lowest point) of the Simpsons long, long television run?

Homer getting raped by a panda?

"The Critic" cross-over?

Stampy?

Marge's breast implants?

The "real" Seymour Skinner returning?

Agnes dating CBG?

Cheers, BD

I'm going to have to vote for this one.

Though Jockey Elves, dead alligators, diamond hoarding monkey scientists, killing Maude, and a few other moments about which I am sure I'm in denial were all pretty low (IMO), Homer being raped by a panda continues to mystify me as to how they even got that past the censors...

Mind you, I consider myself to be one of the most socially liberal people around.

I liked this. It was okay.

"Pepsi presents New Zanzibar."

"Pardon me, I couldn't help noticing that your house smells like feces, and not just monkey feces either."

Rolling on a bed of diamonds: "I'm a scientist! I'm rich! I'm rich!"

Laughing at the ex-president: "He got overthrown! Now he's just a stinking flight attendent!"

And a little meta-humor with Homer constantly concerned about the bag-boy strike situation, the pre-inflection storyline.

"Pepsi presents New Zanzibar."

Has one of my fav. Bart lines. "Out of wine."

Merely an awkward moment in an otherwise funny ep.

Actually a good ep.

Meh.

BINGO!

Also Marge's steroid rampage comes a close second.

I thought it was funny in a wacky continuity-bashing sort of way.

Frighteningly funny.

Not this one.

The concept was pretty bad to begin with, but the episode itself turned out decent, perhaps even better than average.

Lots of memorable moments in that one:

"Don't cry for me, I'm already dead"

"You truly are the king of kings"

"I was saying boo-urns"

"Ow, my groin!"

-Poot

George C. Scott getting hit in groin by football! It works on SO many levels.

"My name is Barney Gumbel and I have a drinking problem." "Mr. Gumbel, this is a Girl Scout meeting." "Is it, or do you not wanna admit you have a problem?"

"Marge is this a boil or a blister? I'll be a minute...Look what you made me write!"

Marge crossing off Martin Scorsese to have Homer as a judge.

"Help, help, police!" "I've got problems of my own here."

"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." -George W. Bush

Remove "bination" to reply.

It was a gummi bear.

"What can I do about it? I'm just- [counting on fingers] one... one man!"

"I was saying boo-urns."

The auditions for the role of Mr. Burns. "Exc! Ell ent!"

Let's just say it moved me...TO A BIGGER HOUSE! Oh crap, I said the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet.

"I'll never drink another beer again..." "Beer for sale!" "Give me about ten."

Either Britney Spears, N-Sync, or the NBC anchor puking during the commercial break on satellite.

Amen. Who could forget "A Burns for All Seasons"? Or football in the groin? Classic. The only reason people say they don't like it is because Matt Groening threw a little temper tantrum over the crossover idea. Apparently he was unwilling to help his longtime showrunners Al Jean and Mike Reiss launch their new show. But he hasn't minded throwing in Bender from "Futurama" on "The Simpsons."

Admittedly without thinking about it much, this would be the low point of the series. (And it's likely to remain so until "The Simpsons" wraps up its run.) It was the only time I can recall staring at the set in disbelief, thinking, "I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing, am I?"

The Charles Nelson Riley gag where they grab their collar and make a weird sound that means "uh-oh.". For me that is the worst. I was projectile vomiting for weeks after I first saw that on the Simpsons. Now I am in restraints and typing this with my nose because they let me know if I get loose I will kill myself immediately to wipe the unimaginable horror from my mind. At night I pray for sweet, sweet death.
